Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

The deaf old lady was so angry that she couldn't help shaking.

If it weren't for his grandson He Yuzhu, he really wanted to kill himself in front of Xu Damao's house to vent his hatred.

He held the crutch in one hand and clenched his fist in the other. Although he was filled with reluctance and did not want to make the fact that He Yuzhu had been arrested public, he had no choice but to compromise in order to rescue him.

"Da Mao, the old lady listens to you."

"Since everyone is willing to listen, let them listen and serve as a witness for us."

Soon Yi Zhonghai helped Chen Dehui to the central courtyard.

Only after learning that everyone was present did Xu Damao open the door with Qin Jingru.

Looking at the angry faces of the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao was not afraid of them at all. He snorted coldly and asked, "What are you doing blocking the door?"

"I don't want to stand at the door and talk to you guys about things."

"Jingru, quickly bring out two stools, one for the old man and one for me."

"The eldest uncle is very fair in his dealings with people in our courtyard. I, Xu Damao, admire him for that."

"Anyone in our courtyard can stand, except the eldest uncle..."

Seeing that the deaf old lady's already red face became even more angry, Yi Zhonghai seized the opportunity and said, "Xu Damao..."

"Don't you see the deaf old lady standing in front of you too?"

"Let Xiao'e bring a stool to the old lady..."

"I usually teach you to respect the elderly and love the young, and this is what you do."

Xu Damao did not tolerate Yi Zhonghai at all. Moreover, since the two of them came to ask for help from him today, he had no time to be polite and responded immediately.

"Jingru..."

"Don't worry about the deaf old lady..."

"I, Xu Damao, have no objection to respecting the elderly and loving the young, but not everyone deserves our respect."

"For example, the old lady in front of me is the oldest person in the yard."

"But he never seeks justice for the residents in the courtyard. Instead, he often takes advantage of others by relying on his seniority."

"He often acts as an accomplice to the evildoers in the yard..."

"She relied on her age to help her bad grandson He Yuzhu bully the residents in the courtyard. She would use the cane in her hand to beat anyone who refused to obey her."

"Everyone saw that the old lady was old and didn't want to argue with her."

"As a result, this old lady not only doesn't know how to restrain herself, but she also takes sides more and more often in the yard..."

"correct……"

"If I remember correctly, this old lady often told us that she once helped the Red Army weave straw sandals..."

"Why haven't you said anything recently..."

"If the old lady really helped the Red Army, we can notify the street office to verify it. Maybe our courtyard can produce another hero."

The deaf old lady was so angry that she trembled all over again.

At first it was out of anger. Xu Damao actually slapped an old lady in the face in front of all the residents in the compound. It was really too much.

Then there's fear.

In order to get rid of the rumors that she helped the Red Army make straw sandals, the deaf old lady has been staying at home for the past two years, for fear that the residents would bring up the past and report it to the street.

Because when she was young, she not only did not help the Red Army weave straw sandals, but she was also a capitalist lady. Otherwise, how could an ordinary old lady own a house with property in such an important place as the Fourth City, and own so many small yellow croakers. What if the street really investigates me in depth?

Not only would her reputation as a woman who made straw sandals for the Red Army be shattered, but her past as a capitalist's daughter would also be exposed, and she would become an old woman that everyone in the courtyard hated.

The deaf old lady doesn't want to become like Jia Zhang one day.

Fearing that Xu Damao would continue to speak, he hurriedly stopped him: "Zhong Hai..."

"My legs and feet are still fine, old lady. I can stand..."

"Even if Xu Damao's stool was really moved in front of me, an old lady like me wouldn't dare sit on it."

No matter what Yi Zhonghai said, he would not let the old lady stand while negotiating with Xu Damao, otherwise the personality of respecting the elderly and loving the young that he had established for himself would be destroyed.

He went back to his home and brought a stool to the deaf old lady.

Then he said to Xu Damao: "Xu Damao..."

"What conditions do you want in order to agree to write a letter of understanding?"

"What letter of understanding?" Xu Damao pretended to be confused to Yi Zhonghai, frowned and asked in confusion.

Yi Zhonghai saw through Xu Damao's thoughts at a glance, frowned and asked, "Don't you know what a letter of understanding is?"

"Xu Damao, we are all smart people, so don't pretend to be stupid in front of me and the old lady."

"Let's finish writing quickly and go back to our homes."

"There are so many residents watching here, you don't feel ashamed, but I do."

Xu Damao immediately flashed an aggrieved expression on his face: "Second Uncle, you really wronged me."

"Since I was found in the middle yard this morning and carried home, I have not left the house. Why should I pretend to be confused..."

"Many residents in the yard saw it. I, Xu Damao, have never even left my house. How could I possibly know about the letter of understanding you mentioned?"

"Besides, I, Xu Damao, have not committed any crime. Why should I write a letter of apology? And to whom should I write it?..."

"I don't know anything. It's impossible for me to just do whatever you say and write the letter of apology without thinking."

"No matter how you look at this matter, I am right."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect Xu Damao's mind to work so quickly. His series of questions confused him. He wanted to refute but couldn't find any reasons to do so.

He quickly glanced at the residents around him, and they were all looking at him with expressions of approval.

It seemed to be telling Yi Zhonghai that what Xu Damao said just now was absolutely right.

I haven't even left the house, why should I listen to you and write a letter of apology for no reason.

Even if Xu Damao knew why he had to write a letter of apology, as the victim, he would only write it after seeing your sincerity.

As the one asking for help, Yi Zhonghai didn't even say a word of apology, but just ordered Xu Damao to write a letter of apology in an imperative tone. Isn't this just asking too much?

After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.

The deaf old lady didn't expect that after not seeing him for a while, Xu Damao had become so powerful that he had defeated Yi Zhonghai as soon as the negotiations began.

What was even more unexpected was that such a grown man like Yi Zhonghai could actually survive.

The two men came to ask Xu Damao to write a letter of apology, and they demanded Xu Damao to write it in an imperative tone from the beginning, without even talking about compensation and apology. Isn't this giving the other party a handle?

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was about to get angry again, he quickly stopped him.

I was afraid that the conflict between the two would intensify further, which would affect Xu Damao's writing of the letter of apology to Zhuzi, and I would not be able to rescue Zhuzi. Not only would I lose people, but I would also fail to achieve my goal. That would be too much of a loss. (End of this chapter)
